You have to be completely knowledgable about what you are writing, and make your opinions/statements stand out from the thousands of other students.
I understand you are homeschooled and might have a disadvantage over other people that have learned the tricks of the trade but all you need to know is the outlines and structure of how to write an essay, and you can find examples online.
Find a topic that you can argue well. It can be something personal, political, or social.
Right now, I'm writing a topic on how Advertising influences American culture. By using provokative images, slang, appealing people, advertisements can manipulate what consumers do with their money and time. I added my opinions on it and how it affects my life.
With topics such as this, you demonstrate research, experience, and knowledge and put it into a well thought out paper. Colleges love this. [ Tiffanyy's advice column | Ask Tiffanyy A Question ]
